The Thiou (French pronunciation: [tju]) is a short river in the city of Annecy, France. It is 3.6 km (2.2 mi) long. It is an effluent of Lake Annecy and an affluent of the Fier, which is in turn a tributary of the Rhône. The Thiou is considered one of the cleanest rivers in Europe and a postcard of the city of Annecy. The Thiou crosses the city forming small canals without which the city would not be often called the Venice of the Alps.Make Le Thiou a centerpiece of your Annecy vacation itinerary, and find what else is worth visiting using our Annecy trip planner.
During the nineteenth century, the Thiou played an important role in manufacturing activities and provided the necessary energy to the industries that developed in the city of Annecy.

From the start, visit the old Annecy and the castle museum. Towards the end of the route, the path passes right next to the turbine exhibition center. An easy and nice walk for all levels👌🏿
